Suspect in Great Lakes Crossing Mall Shooting Released Pending Prosecutor Review

Oakland County prosecutors will decide whether a licensed gun owner who fired in the mall faces criminal charges.

Overview

  • A shooting at Great Lakes Crossing’s food court left 20-year-old KeShawn Emery dead and a 19-year-old woman wounded after police say shots were fired during a fight.
  • Police say the conflict began in a mall bathroom and then escalated in the food court when the 22-year-old suspect fired multiple shots.
  • The suspect was taken into custody at the scene and then released from the Oakland County Jail while the prosecutor’s office reviews evidence and considers charges.
  • Authorities say the suspect holds a concealed pistol license, which raises a legal self-defense standard that prosecutors will weigh alongside video and witness statements.
  • The mall has reopened and officials have increased daily police and security patrols while shoppers and workers report heightened anxiety about safety.
